Mark, in our case expansion and contraction issues have been eliminated, the tubes float at the other end, they are not welded to anything. We are mostly concerned with leakage at the gasket if it is two separate flanges, if not an issue then we are ok.

I made my 3-rotor exhaust flange one piece to try to control expansion/contraction and hopefully prevent cracking.  So far, so good.  You could always cut a hole in the bridge between the two ports to reduce some weight.

We're curious about 13B turbo exhaust flanges, is there any reason they need to be one flange for both pipes or do you think it will seal up fine with one per?
We're looking for small weight savings as well as easier to build up each pipe. The other ends of the pipes are floating with a double flange going into a collector.
